please help me create a download folder in my pc.the old folder has disaapeared.moreover some of my c drive folders are also visible in my E drive even after transferring them to C drive.i have already chosen the download location as E drive for my windows 11 settings as also the microsoft edge settings.but some downloads like whatsapp land up in c drive.my aim is to only utilize the E drive as downloads location.also how can some c drive folders be removed from my E drive eg.Programme files,Windows Apps.

Default Downloads folder is at - C:\Users\<user_name>\Downloads

Use something like Free Download Manager & use that to set default download location somewhere else.

If you cloned storage, it just "clones", more like copy, not like cut & paste. So delete OS entry & files from E drive. With new storage, recommended to clean install OS.

FDM wont work in edge which i use
